I am upgrading from an Nikon DX to FX so I know Nikon to be a manufacturer of excellent products. I like to capability to use a wide range of lenses from wide to normal to telephoto. The hard part is deciding what of the nearly infinite combination of settings is right for use. I mostly use aperture priority, auto focus, auto-iso. Great camera.

A great camera all around, easy to use and great image quality, but with one caveat. In the middle of shooting a wedding, my D610 suddenly started corrupting some of the images. The bigger problem was that I didn't know it because all appeared to be fine on the screen. It wasn't until later in the day when I couldn't review many of the images I had shot earlier that I realized there was a problem. So in it went to Nikon, and it's been working great ever since. HOWEVER, the exact same problem happened with its DX sister camera, my D7100. It, too, has been fixed by Nikon at an almost identical price (they simply replaced the sensor units in both of them). I suspect it wasn't the sensor but a firmware issue, but in the process of replacing the sensor they updated the firmware as well. So, long story short, if you buy the D610, have a factory-trained Nikon tech give it a thorough check before using it. Mine's been doing great since I had it worked on. Read full review

The Nikon 610 is a camera that has the same resolution as 35mm film. It is complicated and feature filled. Any of Nikon or Canon high end camera needs some study to use it properly. After buying this used camera I noticed the new price had come down and I wound up paying 75%of the new price. I like to buy electronics at 50% of the new price. This camera takes good photos. It is more than I need for it's purpose.

A D610 will generally put a fair dent into your budget, especially if you buy a new one. Even a refurbished directly from Nikon will cost you around $1000. If you want to point and shoot, this is far more camera than you should even consider. If you want full-frame, still thinking in terms of 35mm cameras and the level of skill a photographer needs there, then this could be one for you. It isn't the latest technology. It is quite recent. For the latest, consider the fact you'll be spending $2500 and upwards for not a lot more than this one offers. It isn't a light camera. But it does far more than your simple D60 or D40, at considerably more money. I like this camera as it gives a sense of throwback to my FA which I used regularly and at times heavily for some 30 years. A very strong camera, well built, with plenty of bells and whistles for those wishing those things Otherwise appears to be a workhorse of a camera. I didn't buy this for the lens that came with it, and it is a reasonable lens, but if you use such, you will need a tripod for certain at almost any exposure. No Vibration Reduction here. I replaced this one with a 70-300 AF VR lens. Much heavier, but a great lens.Read full review

Although the image size of the D610 is the same as from my D7100, the images from the D610 are noticeably sharper and the high ISO noise is almost non-existent even at 6400 ISO. I don't even worry about noise and have the camera set on auto-ISO and can then use Aperture Priority mode and not worry about the shutter speed dropping down so low as to induce blur from camera shake. The D610 is only a bit bigger and heavier than my D7100, which makes it a nice camera to hike with. I have yet to really put it to extended testing, but so far, so good.
